DHS surveilled peaceful protesters and then yanked their Global Entry, federal lawsuit alleges

April Walker, a San Diego resident, was observing federal immigration agents in a Target parking lot in April
when she said they boxed her in and pointed a camera at her face and license plate.

👉 She said she never provided her driver’s license
and the agents only moved their vehicles and allowed her to leave after she called 911.

❌ Five days later, she learned that her Global Entry, which provides expedited TSA screening, had been revoked.

⚠️ It was only reinstated, she said, after she contacted a reporter who then reached out to the Department of Homeland Security to inquire about the revocation.

Walker laid out her story in a federal lawsuit, filed Friday in the Southern District of California,
alleging that agents working for Homeland Security deployed facial recognition technology and license plate information
to surveil people observing and documenting federal immigration enforcement.

Homeland Security then used that information to revoke Global Entry privileges in retaliation, the lawsuit alleges.

“Now more than ever, those of us who have the privilege to speak out have a responsibility to defend the rights of everyone in our communities,”
Walker said in a statement.

🔥“When people are punished for exercising their First Amendment rights,
we begin losing the democratic principles that protect all of us.

Every American should be alarmed by retaliatory action against one’s free speech

“The White House Correspondents’ Disgrace
The WHCA sought to reconvene its annual dinner in celebration of press freedom. Instead, it handed Donald Trump a platform to attack the very journalists the organization exists to represent.”

JUST IMAGINE if Pres. #Biden had insisted the 4 killed in Benghazi™ "didn't count" b/c we were not at war at the time.

#DTBarnum thinks he can wage his war of choice on #Iran forever w/o Congressional Approval if he simply resets the clock every 60 days. And to do that, he had to scrub 4 deaths. 🤬

Federal officials acknowledged in a recent lawsuit what we all suspected: Trump is targeting Democratic states. https://trib.al/T7LcLML

It’s an astounding thing for government lawyers to say, especially considering that documenting conversations is a basic requirement in the legal profession. https://trib.al/qblCPY6

tRump’s CDC nominee just promised to hunt down “hidden” abortions by forcing states to separate them from emergency care & miscarriage treatment. Surveillance first, science second. This isn’t public health — it’s building a federal database to criminalize women.

John C. Dvorak, a pioneering technology journalist, podcaster, and cultural commentator, passed away peacefully on the morning of Monday, July 20, 2026. He was 80 years old. For tech journalists of a certain age, there was a time when everyone knew him.

No big companies should be able to control so much of our media, particularly our news, entertainment and social media together. It leaves them highly vulnerable to regulatory blackmail by the White House, as we have now seen over and over under Trump.

2️⃣ There may be other sources of contamination

Given we continue to see a record number of cases in many states, there could still be multiple sources and several different products involved, not just Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce. We still don’t have the full picture yet, and it takes time to investigate a widespread outbreak like this, especially when it’s hard to directly test to see if multiple sources of produce have the same or different strains of parasite.

Did Iran Just Get Tolls for the Strait of Hormuz?

RIGGED ELECTIONS (more)

Rudy Giuliani Following the 2020 election, he represented Trump in many lawsuits filed in attempts to overturn the election results, making false and debunked allegations about rigged voting machines, polling place fraud

In April 2024, he was indicted on charges related to the 2020 election in Arizona. He was disbarred in the state of New York in July and in the District of Columbia in September.

Trump issued a federal pardon to Giuliani.

RIGGED ELECTIONS = TRUMP

“What do you say to families of fallen soldiers when Americans are against the war?”

🤥 TRUMP, LYING AGAIN: “Americans aren’t against the war.”

Duckworth: "First and foremost, Trump is the one who started this war. Trump is the one who started this war without any actual plan for how he was going to execute the mission. So the blame for those 18 service members' deaths lays at the feet of the president. It sits on the resolute desk in front of him in that gilded Mary Antoinette of an Oval Office."

Just another unqualified MAGAt running for office...

Democratic Wins Media

Never forget; in the FOTUS’s military, with all the anti-DEI campaigning to do things like trying to erase the contributions troops other than those who aren’t or weren’t male, aren’t or weren’t white, 19 year-old Isabella Gonzalez will disappear from any Pentagon website. God DAMN Kegsbreath, the FOTUS and all his fucking goons to fucking hell. This just … never should have happened. Can’t tell I’m pissed, can ya?
